  • Capitol Hill Guide Welcome
    The Van Scoyoc Companies Capitol Hill Guide Welcome Welcome to Washington and the Van Scoyoc Companies. I hope you’ll find this guide useful during your visit to Capitol Hill. Our Country’s forefathers enshrined in the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution the people’s right “peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” They considered this right of equal importance with freedom of religion and freedom of the press. Thousands of Americans visit their elected representatives in the House and the Senate each year, providing Members of Congress and the Administration with vital insights into the Country’s needs and fears and wishes for the future. Unfortunately, many Americans today don’t appreciate this right – and this privilege – they have to influence government by making their views known, either directly or through agents and associations. The Founding Fathers knew that a great nation grew out of a vigorous competition of ideas and interests, and they designed our Government to accommodate conflicts, not quash them. We at the Van Scoyoc Companies have always believed that our primary role was to help our clients find honorable and effective ways to make their arguments known to those in power. Please don’t hesitate to ask anyone in our firms for something you may need during your visit to Washington. We don’t pretend to have the answer to every question, but I guarantee you that when we don’t, we know how to find it.

  • Transportation
    Chevy Chase Lake Sector Plan Appendix 7 Transportation 1 Sector Plan Study Area and Plan Boundary The transportation analysis for the Chevy Chase Sector Plan takes into account a larger study area and a smaller Plan boundary (see Figure 1). The study area comprises the traffic analysis zones (TAZs) within and contiguous to the Plan boundary. The definition of the study area is important as the first step in establishing the interface between the regional transportation model (Travel/3) and the Plan‐specific local area model (LAM). The Plan boundary is formally established by the Planning Board during its deliberations on the Plan’s Scope of Work. The more detailed transportation analysis (using the LAM and other analysis tools) is conducted on the area within the Plan boundary. Figure 1 Sector Plan Study Area and Plan Boundary The smaller Plan area is further divided into sub‐zones (see Figure 2). During consideration of the scope of work for the Chevy Chase Lake Sector Plan, the Planning Board agreed that two intersections (Connecticut Avenue/Beach Drive and Connecticut Avenue/Bradley Lane) would be included in the LAM analysis even though they were outside the Plan boundary. 2 Figure 2 Plan Area Sub‐zones 3 Major Transportation Facilities Connecticut Avenue (MD 185) is the major roadway serving the Plan area. Table 1 summarizes the Plan area’s master‐planned streets and highways. In addition to the roadways, the master‐ planned Purple Line Transitway and adjacent Capital Crescent Trail are located within the Georgetown Branch right of way and extend across the sector plan area.

  • Hate Crime Report 031008
    HATE CRIMES IN THE OSCE REGION -INCIDENTS AND RESPONSES ANNUAL REPORT FOR 2007 Warsaw, October 2008 Foreword In 2007, violent manifestations of intolerance continued to take place across the OSCE region. Such acts, although targeting individuals, affected entire communities and instilled fear among victims and members of their communities. The destabilizing effect of hate crimes and the potential for such crimes and incidents to threaten the security of individuals and societal cohesion – by giving rise to wider-scale conflict and violence – was acknowledged in the decision on tolerance and non-discrimination adopted by the OSCE Ministerial Council in Madrid in November 2007.1 The development of this report is based on the task the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) received “to serve as a collection point for information and statistics on hate crimes and relevant legislation provided by participating States and to make this information publicly available through … its report on Challenges and Responses to Hate-Motivated Incidents in the OSCE Region”.2 A comprehensive consultation process with governments and civil society takes place during the drafting of the report. In February 2008, ODIHR issued a first call to the nominated national points of contact on combating hate crime, to civil society, and to OSCE institutions and field operations to submit information for this report. The requested information included updates on legislative developments, data on hate crimes and incidents, as well as practical initiatives for combating hate crime. I am pleased to note that the national points of contact provided ODIHR with information and updates on a more systematic basis.
